ITunes 7 is crashing on Windows XP when I go to the Movies page at the music store.

Bummer. Probably works better on a Mac. I'd buy a Mac if they actually came with high end video cards and if the software I use ran on them. Such a shame.

I don't have another MP3 player to play them on EXCEPT for my computers. My home stereo cd player will not play MP3's as it is about 13 years old.

For real?

if they actually came with high end video cards

Well, you can build to order with an NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500, as documented here. That qualifies as high-end!

and if the software I use ran on them.

Well, you can reboot to Windows or Linux using Apple's free Boot Camp, or you can buy Parallels Desktop for Mac, which lets you run a virtual Windows or Linux machine without rebooting.

Right now Boot Camp holds the edge on the graphics speed, but the Parallels team says they're working on getting high-speed graphics drivers working.

(Also, VMWare is coming for the Mac as well....)

Such a shame.

Apparently, not really.... I guess we'll see you soon on the Mac side?

They're up to the Radeon X1900 XT now, not to mention the workstation cards. Otherwise, if you need specific software, you can run Windows on them in a pinch.
